Name: Airbus A340-600Manufacturer: Airbus Industries Europe (France/Germany)Main Role: High capacity, long - very long range mainline jetlinerBasic design: Four engined, double aisle wide body jet. Airframe based on the A300.Capacity: A340-600: 375 passengers Range: 13700km First delivery date: 2002 Still in production in 2008: YesEasily confused for: Airbus A330-300, IL-86, IL-96, DC-8, 707, 747Main identifying points: Look for the "Airbus" cockpit windows, four large engines (larger than on the A340-200/300 version), large upward swept winglets & a classic Airbus tail & tail cone. Other than the 747 and IL86/96 it's one of the few 4-engined wide body jets around. If it has 4 engines and no hump on the front it's more than likely an A340. The IL86/96 is less common and is quite similar in shape but they have a very high pointy tail and a short less pronounced tail cone and are flown almost exclusively by Russian airlines. The A340-500/600 both have a 4 wheeled middle undercarriage along with the ones under each wing. The A340-600 has the longest fuselage of any standard airliner so hard to not identify. It's a stretched version of the -300/500Examples of Main Operators: Lufthansa, Cathay Pacific, China Eastern, Thai, Virgin Atlantic, Iberia, South African so these planes are especially numerous in Frankfurt, Singapore, Hong Kong, Madrid, Johannesburg, Bangkok and London.

Tahnsk to Lori:Montlake Bridge Opens to allow the passage of hundreds of boats on their way to Lake Washington for the opening of the annual regatta which is a feature of Seattle's Seafare Celebration.

Thanks to Lori:The Calvin Coolidge Memorial Bridge is a major crossing of the Connecticut River in Western Massachusetts, connecting the towns of Northampton and Hadley. The bridge carries Route 9 across the river, where it connects to Interstate 91. The bridge is a major bottleneck in Hampshire County—the only major hospital in the county, Cooley-Dickinson, is located in Northampton on the western side of the bridge. The road approaching the bridge is known as Bridge St. in Northampton (eastbound) and Russell St. in Hadley (westbound).
